How can I rewrite this sentence using an adjectival phrase?
Hi there,
maybe you can help, I have no idea how to rewrite this sentence, although several possibilities should be possible (...using an adjecive or an adjectival phrase commonly used with the noun fluctuation...):
'Over the decades there has been fluctuation in the number of people who vote in elections in the UK.'
???

there has been great fluctuation in There has been little fluctuation in there has been a surprising lack of fluctuation in (I hope this is an adjectival phrase . ) We can get rid of the article by switching to plural - there have been surprising increases in fluctuation in (if you could switch "fluctuations" to plural) there have been few fluctuations in - (Actually, we're switching from uncountable to countable here. ) Regards, - A.

ok, so I could also use 'small/significant/considerable fluctuation'... I think I got it.
